Dealing with Incontinence

Over 19 million Americans experience some form of incontinence, the inability to completely control their bladders or bowel movements. People often find the psychological symptoms of incontinence are worse than the physical ones. The fear of having an “accident,” the helpless feeling of not being in control, or the embarrassment of spotting clothing or creating an unpleasant odor tend to keep people who suffer from incontinence from getting out and freely enjoying life.

Remember: cutting down on the amount of fluids you drink or drastically changing your diet can be dangerous. The proper medication prescribed by your doctor combined with the quality products we offer are the best fight against incontinence--so you can get back to living the life you deserve.

Levels of Incontinence

There are various levels of incontinence, and an array of products that are just right for each one. Each product features high absorbency, protection from wetness, and odor control. Take a look to see which is best for your needs:

• Very Light Incontinence

  
  Shields or Pads: the best choice for light incontinence. They easily and discreetly attach to undergarments with an adhesive strip.



• Light Incontinence

  
  Liners or Guards: provide the higher absorbency you need for light to moderate incontinence, and attach to existing undergarments with an adhesive strip.



• Moderate Incontinence

  
  Undergarments: Designed for use with or without underwear, lightweight and comfortable undergarment products contour the shape of the body for a trim profile. Available in belted or beltless styles.
  
  

  Disposable Underwear: Soft, cloth-like outer cover can be worn instead of underwear and provides discreet, comfortable and odor-free protection for moderate to heavy incontinence.
  
  Disposable Underpads: Excellent and reliable extra protection for beds, chairs, and wheelchairs. Available in a variety of sizes and absorbency levels.
  

• Heavy Incontinence

  
  Briefs: Ultra comfortable, discreet and disposable briefs offer superior protection and confidence. Easily fasten with tape tabs.
